accompanying drawings I provide a supporting body which may be andpreferably is a pencil 1 having a transverse opening or bore 2 thereinadjacent one end, the opposite end of the pencil may be. pointed asusual so that it may be used in the customary manner. 7

With a view toward providing my im-- r proved picture exhibiting means Ihave provided a magnifying glass or lens including ,Be it known that I,THOMAS OLAN'D Tm- State of Texas, have invented certain'usefulImprovements in Pencil Attachments, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.K

This invention relates to a pencil attachment and as the primary objectcontemplates the provision of picture exhibiting means frictionallymounted in an opening in the body thereof so that when the pencil ordther supporting body is held close to the is convex as indicated, bythe numeral 4 'while the opposite face is straight andfiat as indicatedby the numeral 5. A plain glass disk 6 is also provided and has disposedon the straight flatface 7 a group of means will be magnified andenlarged so photographic views, a small view or other as to be easilydistinguished when looking pictures or characters. The ,flat. face 7 isthrough the opening, the device being parfused or otherwise made. rigidwith" the ticularly adapted to serve as an advertising straight flatface 5 of thelens so that the medium oras a souvenir. peripheral edge 8of the disk is arranged 'More particularly the present invention -flushwith the outer surface of the cylindri- 4 consists of transparentphotographic views or cal body 3.

In applying the, picture exhibiting means to the pencil 'body subsequentto arranging the picture exhibiting means in the manner described, it isarranged in frictional ening in the support to provide a pictureexgagement with the transverse opening '2 so hibitor therein. that theouter face 9 of the disk. and the Among the other aims and objects ofthis convex face 4 of the lens body are arranged invention may berecited the provision of a substa'nti-ally flush with the outer surfaceof device of the character described, with a the pencil body asindicated in Fig. 2. view to compactness, and in which the num- In usethe pencil body 1.is held'in the hand and by looking toward the convexface 4 of the lens through the opening toward a light and by securingthe proper focus the small photographic views will be enlarged.

I'n-reducing the invention to practice, it is thought that it may bereadily used as an advertising medium or as a souvenir. Obviously I amnot to be limited to the excharacter carrying means connected to themagnifying means, both of the means having the outer surface constructedso that the cost of-production low and the efficiency high.

Other objects, as well as the nature, characteristic features and. scopeof this invention will be more readily apparent from the followingdescription taken in connection pointed out in the claim, thisspecification.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a perspective showing the im proved attachment in thebody of a pencil.

Fig: 2 is an enlarged. fragmentary longipencil body showing thecharacters on the transparent disk. For example, in one instance, asmall year calendar instead of the photographic views.

It will be understood that the above deprehend only the general andpreferred emattachment therein. bodiment ofmy invention and that variousFig. 3 is a fragmentary front elevation of minor changes in-detail ofconstruction, proportion and arrangement may be made within the sco e ofthe appended claim and cing any of the advantages of my invention. Y

. Havmgthus fully described my invention,

Similar characters of reference are emto indicate corresponding parts, 7v I Referring now, more particularly to the a solid cylindrical body 3one face of which forming a part of act group or arrangement of picturesor scription and accompanying drawings comp 100 could be applied on thistransparent disk j what I claim as new and desire to secure ing, theopposite end of said lens being flat and spaced from the other end ofthe opening inwardly thereof, a glass disk fitting the last-named end ofsaid opening and being vdisposed in close proximity to the flat end ofsaid lensand presenting at this point a flat surface, and a picturesecured upon the flat surface of said glass disk directly against theflat end of said lens.

In testimony whereof I aifix my slgnaturet THOMAS OLAND TIPPIT.
